1. Citron - PLA set of 2 cutlery and case
Equip your little one for lunch hour with this lightweight, easy-to-wash cutlery set that comes with a matching protective case. What makes these utensils stand out from others on the market is their material: made using 100 per cent PLA – an organic, compostable bioplastic that’s long-lasting and shatter-resistant – they’re kind to the planet while being able to withstand accidents. Take your pick between two stylish colours: dusty pink and moss green.
2. American Tourister - Little Carter kids backpack
Few things conjure up nerves and excitement more than selecting a new backpack for the school year. This model from American Tourister comes in a range of colours, with fun illustrations that are sure to be a hit with your child. Its practical design covers all bases: an adjustable chest buckle, a front storage pocket, an interior divider and a handy name label. You don’t have to worry about cleanliness either – both the interior lining and outer polyester fabric are treated with antimicrobial technology.
3. LOJEL - Iloj - pen case
With this elegant pen case, you can be sure of two things: always having a pen to hand when you need one; and exhibiting impeccable taste. Minimalist in design and available in three neutral hues – olive, pebble grey and black – this case is timeless. It holds up to four pens or pencils, and its magnetic closure ensures both safe storage and quick access, so you can start jotting notes ASAP.
4. Nillkin - Versatile Series 3-in-1 ultra-thin notebook bag with stand/mouse pad

5. HUAWEI - Matepad Pro 13.2
Tired of lugging a heavy laptop around campus? Consider swapping it for a lightweight, portable tablet, like the 580g, 5.5mm Matepad Pro 13.2.
